A long time ago, our point of viewWas broadcast by Mr. BartholomewNow the world is full of sorrow and painIt's time for us to speak up again

You're slack and sorrySuch an arrogant broodThe only purpose you serve is to bring us our foodWe sit here staring at your pomp and poutOutside the bars we use for keeping you out

You've taken everything that you wantedBroke it up and plundered it and huntedEver since we said itYou went and took the creditIt's been headed this way since the world beganWhen a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

Every time that man struggles and failsHe makes up some kind of fairytalesAfter all of the misery that he has causedHe denies he's descended from the dinosaurs

Points up to heaven with cathedral spiresAll the time indulging in his base desiresEver since we said itHe went and took the creditIt's been this way since the world beganWhen a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

Big and useless as he has becomeWith his crying statues and his flying bombGoes 'round acting like the chosen oneExcuse us if we treat him like out idiot cousin

He hangs up flowers and bells and rhymesHoping to hell that someone's forgiven his crimesFills the air with his pride and his praiseHe's big disgrace to our beastly ways

In the fashionable nightclubs and finer precinctsMan uses words to dress up his vile instinctsEver since we said itHe went and took the creditIt's been this way since the world's beganWhen a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
